In response to the tragedy caused by the catastrophic earthquake that hit Haiti, the IU campus and community will be conducting a series of events to raise both awareness and funds to benefit the people of Haiti. The Forum and Call to Action to be held on Thursday, January 21 is one of the initial events. It aims to provide information and perspective about historical, political, cultural, environmental, and economic realities in Haiti, both pre and post-earthquake. After the presentations, there will be announcements of ongoing activities through which the public can help. Presenters include faculty members, students, and members of the Caribbean community in Bloomington. For more information about the Forum, and if your group is interested in hosting an information table about your fundraising or educational activity, please contact clacs@indiana.edu.
